Server Changes (FINAL)

[The Big Herm]

Lately there have been many changes to our servers. Many have applauded these new changes, many have expressed their displeasure. I want to let everyone in the division know that the changes were made to please the collective group.​

The reasons the servers were changed, mainly the FF ON and FF OFF server, were because nobody wanted to play them how they ran. It seems that after the changes were made, everybody that wanted to complain about the changes made very clear that they were displeased. All of this could have been avoided had YOU PLAYED in the servers, ADMINED the servers, and kept them populated.​

For those of you that are scared that your favorite map isnt on a server anymore:
The FF ON server currently hosts ALL stock maps and even some custom maps. We couldnt seem to keep two servers populated for even a quarter of the day so we decided to go from two rotation servers to just one.​

The 24/7 Sinjar server is subject to change. We are merely testing the waters with how we can keep servers populated throughout the day. Sinjar is a very solid, very well liked map. We have decided to try it out. Dont hold us to the fire yet, there is a method to our madness.​

The Dust2 server will no longer be running the No Respawn setting. There was a lot of displeasure from not only members and pubs, but leadership as well. We added the no player collision plugin to keep players from boosting. In order to keep the server a friendly, respectable place to play, it is going to take every admin and patience.​

This should put a kebash to the hate mail and "What happened to this map" posts in the news threads. ​

Remember​

If you want to keep a server, you have to keep playing in it. Its the best way to let leadership know that you enjoy that server.​

Rgr that, populating now.

I'd like to mention on a side note that my activity has been low the past 2 days because I had insane amounts of lag on the servers (my ping was nearly double) Bear Cavalry informed me that "my rates were off." I forget the three console commands to fix this problem. Shouldn't be hard to find on google I suppose.

[!EpIc fAiL!]

[Fuzion]

hmm, then how come when i was on the the rotation server earlier today it was still the 3 maps...almaden, burhiz and sinjar.

 

[Fuzion]

No idea, i was playing baghdad earlier though

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

its not a big deal or anything, i have just been wanting to play on other maps (like haditha-night, karkar, and others that i cant remember the name of) cause just playing on the same 3 will get old, that's what i liked about rotation, a map never got old to me

 

[The Big Herm]

Ill look into this. Ill get back with you when I find something out.

so i got a message from console today saying that all maps are available RTV. so does that mean you can only play them if ppl rtv to that map?

 

[NADES]

or try:

nominate

 

[The Big Herm]

Yeah, that was me in Console. All of the maps should have been added back to the rotation, as well as to the RTV list. Like NADES says, try nominate...With RTV, you have to have a certain percentage of the server who wants to vote on a new map, rather than just one person.
